Almost every KDE2 program I am trying to build fails during compilation for one reason or another (usually mismatch between method calls and what the compiler finds in the header files). I would like to hear from other
I build from CVS source pretty much every day on my SuSE-6.4 system.
people if they had more luck then I did and if they are using the SuSE RPMS or installed KDE2 from sources. If I would like to install from source, do I have to remove KDE1 and KDE2 from my system first? Any tips would be appreciated.
You don't have to remove anything. I build with the --prefix set to /opt/kde2-HEAD which isolates the whole code, then set QTDIR and KDEDIR to point to the correct places. It works like clockwork. You shouldn't be having a problem. Provide more information, like what are the error messages, and what are those two environment variables set to in your compile shell/script?
